Montgomery Clift: Judgement at 6th & C
Why does this mural located on 6th at C mock me? Am I to be mocked? http://sandiegoreader.com/users/photos/2012/oct/23/34229/ Who better to welcome new citizens to sunny San Diego than a clinically depressed and emotionally tortured soul like Montgomery Clift? Whenever out …
A closer look at the trailer for Animal Farm
Okay, I lied a little - the latest iteration of Animal Farm doesn't have a trailer yet. But yesterday's Internet was all abuzz over Andy Serkis' announcement that he intended to direct a motion capture version of George Orwell's famous …
Fun Size fits all!
Dammit, I want to see Fun Size! I am nothing if not a Johnny Knoxville completest. Who says I only like subtitled movies? While it looks to be a safe distance from cinema, for some dumb reason, I laughed during …
National Theatre Live continues at Reading Cinemas Gaslamp 15
I have yet to attend one of National Theatre Live's presentations, but my pal Jean Lowerison, theater critic for SDGLN , is absolutely bonkers over their productions. This is the Gaslamp's fourth season of NT Live, a group dedicated to …

Weekend movies @ South Bay Drive-In
Why are movie tickets so expensive? At the risk of sounding crotchety, I have to complain that they used to be $3.50 two decades ago. Now it costs nearly $12 to see a movie, at night, on a weekend. Good …
Free movies: Anaglyph 3D edition

A closer look at the trailer for The Croods
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xJ4QJCjvN8c "I get it, Dad. I will never do anything new or different." "Good man, Thunk." This, this is why Red Staters say that Hollywood hates America. Never leave the cave! First animated film to reference Platonic imagery, or just …
Review: Alex Cross

Also playing!
Goodness, but there are a lot of movies out there. Halloween, just in time for Halloween! No, not the new Halloween, the old Halloween. The one with the William Shatner mask. Terrifying. http://sandiegoreader.com/users/photos/2012/oct/19/33850/ High Noon! Either the most American or …
Opening this week - UPDATED
A bit of an odd week; still, let's have at it. Aaron Paul and Mary Elizabeth Winstead get drunk in Smashed, but while the film shows the downside of having your wife be your best drinking buddy (especially when she …
Review: Here Comes the Boom
Wanna' have fun? Go see Here Comes the Boom only pretend it's called The Passion of the Kevin James. It's as much a Christ parable as Raging Bull only "director" Frank Coraci doesn't know it. (And speaking of Marty, when …

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hWnAqFyaQ5s Set faces to quizzical, Mr. Hanks: http://sandiegoreader.com/users/photos/2012/oct/18/33814/ And if the guy who fell in love with the script looks this confused, what hope is there for the rest of us? And by the by, Mr. Hanks, it's not the …
Review: Ten reasons not to see The War of the Buttons
10.) You have zero interest in seeing what it would have been like had Walt Disney produced a live-action Nazi drama in the 1960’s. (The Incredible Journey? The Absent Minded Oberführer? Emil and the Schutzstaffel?) 9.) Who wants to see …
Overheard at AMC Mission Valley
The crowd was particularly restless during last night's screening of Alex Cross, the first actor-for-hire job Tyler Perry has accepted. It remains unclear what exactly the woman seated to my left had in her purse. All I know is it …

Sam Raimi and the Raping Tree
Hey kids! Did you know that the director of Spider-Man — no, not that Spider-Man, the first one, with Tobey and Kirsten — got his start with a little low-budget horror-gore film called The Evil Dead? It's true! And of …
